LATAM 777-300ER tailstrike at Milan traced to 100‑ton takeoff weight miscalculation by crew
Italian investigators found a LATAM Boeing 777-300ER crew introduced a 100‑ton error into the takeoff weight calculation, producing incorrect takeoff parameters and causing a tailstrike at Milan Malpensa. ANSV had earlier flagged a discrepancy between the crew's figures and the airline's calculations.
